The second flat

Coming home last weekend I got this:

That white wheel is my spare. Two flats in one 2 hour road trip!
What pressure do y'all inflate to?

Is it possible you got a flat and the spare was no good because of age?

I'd check the age on all the tires and evaluate the situation. Tires on boat trailers generally go bad before running out of tread.

I think I'm in the 35 to 40 psi ballpark? Whatever the recommendation is.

I run mine between 45-48PSI. Zero issues even after a two day trek from home to Tennessee for this reunion.

Dealer just told me to keep them at 45psi. I think it's just that they're 10 yo and I'm suddenly dragging them all over Texas. Btw, the spare is New. I'm replacing the remaining three tires even though they look ok.

I had a lot of weird tread wear. I finally learned to fill the tires to the max rated pressure. My tread wear problems went away. I agree that 10 year old tires should be used locally only. I wouldn't take them on long trips. Most tire companies won't even put tires that old on rims for you.

Last 4 on DOT is how you tell the age . That's the manufactured date
